Music from the fifties sung by female singers compared to today's female vocal artists. [View all]

We landed on a Christmas radio channel that played nothing but golden oldies and the thought that came to mind when I listened to some of the female singers (Not all) is that there was a certain playful seduction going on in their voices. It wasn't by any stretch a strong feminist pov, imo. But something that was more acceptable of that era.

Anyone listen to music enough to pick up on similar nuances? How have songs written for female singers changed in over sixty years in the music industry? Of course, the point of much commercial music is meant to appeal to the listener. Maybe that's the difference.
